When will our 2020 schedule be worked out? Seems to be cutting it close to get a decent arrangement...

We know we are stuck with five home games again. It's just a matter of which SWAC team he will get. It's about time to get Alcorn or Miss Valley in here for a $500K payday. That's a nice payday for a 4 hour bus ride.
....BUT we get to see a HBCU band march. That'll be great to go with the post game fireworks.
2019.... the ONLY thing to keep us from 11-1 will be ourselves. That schedule is WEAK.
Agreed. The biggest threats to Skippy and the boys will be road games at Texas & Marshall, and at home against USM & FIU. Former University of Miami and North Carolina Head coach Butch Davis has done a nice job of rebuilding the FIU program. The Panthers won 6 of their last 7 regular season games, and then topped off the 2018 season with a 35-32 win over Toledo in the Bahamas bowl. They finished 2018 with a 9-4 record. FIU will be solid.
We've all seen this movie before, and know how it'll end. If we don't drop off too much on defense, we'll struggle to finish 7-5 and go bowling again. No defense, and yikes! Not pretty.
I wish one of you research gurus would do this. I will try when I get a rainy weekend day to work on it...
Compare our payout from Texas with payouts to other G5s. Go back 5 years (I think our 2020 payout will be in that range) and go forward 5 years.
Do the same for lsu last year and Clemson in 2022.
FWIW, we have no money games 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024,or 2025.
$500K is laughable. The absolute worst deal in the history of Tech football.
We get $1.1 for two games in a row at NC State over 4 years. NC State will cancel the last game in Ruston. This and Miss St. part 2 are HORRIBLE deals that the Mississippi Valley AD could have done better with.
I think $2 million is a little high, but we definitely need to be in the $1.3-$1.6 million range for future games.
